​avila’s cruise

[Verse 1]
Sometimes a barista grows up to join a blaseball team, and
Sometimes the barista falls in love
With that blaseball team, and
Sometimes she grows up
In a city with everything that she needs
But maybe this city’s just not for me

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve rode to the top of the Space Needle, like, sixty times
And smashed Starbucks windows more than that
Dated a few too many people
Lost my heart, and then some more
I gotta go get gone, gotta get to a get away

[Chorus]
And now my ship's leaving the Puget Sound
As I cruise on down to Florida, now
But I hope you are all there to see me off
And I know I won't see you every day
And that's pretty scary, but it’s okay
We’ll see each other soon at the playoffs

[Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 2]
Empty bowls and hand-washed plates, and
Fourteen smiles and birthday cakes
These memories, I’ll carry with me
Chewing gum and bad advice
Too many exes I thought were nice
Hoping these dark things don’t know how to swim

[Pre-Chorus]
Thank you to the band for helping me find my voice
And thank you to the team that taught me strength
Touring in that van has shown me the whole world
But a tour’s transient treats tend to be only temporary

[Chorus]
And now my ship's leaving the Puget Sound
As I cruise on down to Florida now
But I hope you are all there to see me off
And I know I won't see you every day
And that's pretty scary, but it’s okay
We’ll see each other soon at the playoffs

[Trumpet Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh, I know
I don’t have to go
But with my roots here there’s nowhere left to grow
And I know
We can't always be together
But when you see me catch that fly-ball
Know that I would never be here
Without you

[Chorus]
And my ship's leaving the Puget Sound
As I cruise on down to Florida now
But I hope you are all there to see me off
And I know you won't see me every day
And that's pretty scary, but it’s okay
We’ll see each other soon at the playoffs
Oh, we’ll see each other soon at the playoffs

[Outro]
Oh I’ll see you soon, my friends
And we can laugh and cry again
When we see each other make it to the playoffs
